How to increase improved pasture yield
The main yield components of grass are the number of leaves per unit area and dry matter content. Higher yields come from optimising leaf numbers, maintaining a green leaf canopy and achieving a high dry matter content. A balanced fertiliser program including all macro and micronutrients is essential to help manage all of these components.
Check if your improved pasture has a nutrient deficiency
Identify and diagnose if your improved pasture is suffering from nutrient deficiencies and learn how to control or correct the deficiency. Choose a nutrient below to learn more about the symptoms of its deficiency in grassland and its effect on sward growth and development.
How nutrient management can affect improved pasture
How to Improve Pasture Quality
The aspects to grassland and pasture quality are sward quality, nutritional quality and animal health. Each of these aspects is greatly influenced and improved by a balanced nutrition program.
Improved Pasture Nutritional Summary
A correct balance between macronutrients and micronutrients is essential for balanced grass growth. A deficiency of any single nutrient is enough to limit growth and the availability of each nutrient needs to be related to requirements.
